2017 NBA Free Agency: 5 Superstars Most Likely To Swap Teams

3. Paul Millsap, PF, Atlanta Hawks

Leading up to the 2017 trade deadline, there was a lot of talk about Paul Millsap being dealt. Although the Hawks eventually claimed they wouldn’t be moving him, that likely came as a result of not receiving the types of offers they were hoping for.

Now, Atlanta runs the risk of watching him walk and getting nothing in return. I’m sure they’ll do everything they can to get him back under contract, and there’s a decent chance they succeed. However, with the recent efforts they made to trade him away, I wouldn’t be surprised if Millsap decided to take his talents elsewhere.

Despite his 32 years of age, Millsap still looks like he’s got a few outstanding years left in him. While some wouldn’t exactly categorize him as a superstar, his well-rounded skill set and ability to dominate on either end of the court will entice plenty of teams this offseason.

The Hawks definitely did themselves a disservice by shopping Millsap earlier this year. They may have the ability to offer the most money and years in a new deal, but don’t be surprised if the veteran forward seriously considers finding a new home. There will absolutely be other suitors out there, with some likely offering more contender potential than Atlanta.
